Figure 1: Phloem and xylem transport in plants. Plants possess different transport systems that can be classified according to the distance and the direction of transport. To assure that the ...

Using genetic engineering techniques, researchers have proven a long-standing theory of how many plants ship sugars from their leaves to flowers, roots, fruits and other parts of their structure. How ...

In the 15 years since the first plant genome was fully sequenced 1, plant biology has been at the forefront of developing tools to connect genotype to phenotype. It is a significant technical ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

How do many plants ship sugars from their leaves to flowers, roots, fruits and other parts of their structure? Using genetic engineering techniques, Cornell researchers have finally proven a ...

This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...
